Is there anywhere to get info on inspecting/changing front wheel bearings?
Its pretty easy, I had to replace one on my Paseo. Take off the wheel, rotor, unscrew the drive shaft nut and disconnect the rest of the stuff from the hub. Then just take it in to have some place press out the bearing and put a new one in with a new seal.

The motor smokes like a hooker after a trick until it warms up! Valve job? Is it worth it?
That would be the valve stem seals. They are a pain to replace without taking the head off.
